I am considering an aftermarket fence system for a Craftsman table saw I am working on and so far the Vega utility 50" model seems to be best for my needs based on reviews and pricing. Does anyone have this setup or have another recommendation? I think a Bisemeyer is nice but far exceeds my budget.

My Delta is a Bisemeyer clone. I love it, but don't know if it will work on your saw.

Glenn,
I purchased the Vega 50" last year for my Delta contractors saw and am very happy with it. It has all the advantages of the Beismeyer plus it has a micro-adjust feature. Very sturdy and I didn't have to drill any new holes.

Glenn,
I met the engineer who designed the biesmeyer fence along time ago and he e-mailed me the basic design for building one from scratch.I could copy it and send it to you if you've got the fabrication tools to try it.There's a little welding but mostly ,it's getting the square tubing that's the most challenging.Let me know if your interested.

I have just the fence you are considering and had it on an old craftsman saw----------it is a good fence system. I have since upgraded my table saw and it came equiped with a good fence. I may be willing to part with it if you are interested-----------PM for details.

Vega has served me well. I have it on a PowerMatic 64 and the fence has been all I need and more. I also have some accessories for it that work great also.
